It’s an inoffensive and unchallenging little film.

Take out all the elements of The Big Chill that made you like that film and keep the ones that annoyed you and you've got The Wedding Weekend.

Ted Murphy

The cast veers from overly theatrical (Rogers) to amusing (Molly Shannon as Ted's wife Shannon, a woman who speaks her mind without thinking about the consequences) to spot on (Harbour, DeWitt, Basche, and several others).

The cinematic equivalent of catchy soft-rock elevator music.

Tasha Robinson

The title is the least of the film's problems; far more significant is its failed attempt to make its protagonists endearing instead of obnoxious.

As for the singing, it's pleasant but unctuous and, frankly, made me squirm.

Molly Shannon, as the raunchy wife of the group's most reserved member, is the best-known actor in the cast and its most obnoxious.

Kevin Thomas

The actors are well cast and effective. As a film, Sing Now, shot on location, is as attractive as its cast.

Andy Webster

Its dramatic freight lurches, and intriguing characters (a sex savant, an Indian human beat box) are sold short; a thinning of the ranks might have helped.

Sing Now or Forever Hold Your Peace is a poor man's Big Chill, proving that navel gazing isn't the sole province of early baby boomers.

If, when this gang lights into Our Love Is Here to Stay, you feel you've entered a very special chamber in Hell, rest assured you're not alone.

Do we really need another movie with thirtysomethings who ache to re-live their college years? C'mon, guys, grow up!

The latter may be the better option in this lame comedy.

Sing Now/Wedding Weekend has a marvelous personality to it that does wonders to alleviate the problem areas that plague the script.
